Illegal Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem on Wednesday under the protection of Israeli police, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA.
Citing the Jerusalem Governorate, WAFA said dozens of illegal settlers entered the compound, toured its courtyards and performed Talmudic rituals under the protection of Israeli police.
Al-Aqsa Mosque is the world’s third-holiest site for Muslims.
Jews refer to the area as the Temple Mount, claiming it was the site of two ancient Jewish temples.
